Proposales Electron app - My first freelance assignment

In recent days Proposales released a new version. And with that version came an Electron app which I was hired to develop.

Proposales

Proposales is an award-winning startup by Joakim Green that helps you to create, deliver and monitor business proposals online.

This is how Proposales explain their business:

Replaces the traditional PDF proposal. Proposales is a new standard for interactive and mobile-friendly business proposals that is presented for the recipient via a webpage.

Electron

Electron is a cross platform tool for creating desktop apps with Javascript, HTML5 and CSS3. You’ve got access to the platform that the user is running on through an API that takes care of doing platform specific things. In the background Electron is running a Node.JS app in one or more Chromium browsers.

Proposales is testing a new alternative to support old browsers. Instead of supporting outdated browsers they offer this desktop app. But it’s also available for all their users so that they can keep it in the dock or start menu to be able to start sending proposals without starting a browser.
